drive if it is listed as the first boot device.

SCSI Drive Limitations
The following procedures and operating limitations apply to systems whose only
hard drive is a SCSI device.
Booting from a CD
In systems with only a SCSI hard drive, it is not possible to boot from an IDE
CD-ROM drive.
Using the NEC OS Restore CD with a SCSI Drive
If a situation arises in which a full operating system restore must be performed
using the NEC OS Restore CD, first boot the system from the bootable diskette.
(This might be necessary, for example, if the system does not boot from the hard
drive.) The bootable diskette comes with all systems that have a SCSI hard
drive. After the system boots, proceed with the NEC OS Restore procedure.
